Office Hours. Ep 104 - Vasili & Robert. Beyond Distributed Consensus

Robert argues that the crypto industry's focus on tokens and trading has overshadowed real-world applications, and he is pivoting his project to address this by building Evernet, an application-specific layer 1 decentralized storage network aimed at enterprises needing compliance and security. He emphasizes starting from customer problems rather than engineering abstractions, and notes that while full decentralization is ideal for infrastructure, compliance may require limited distribution at the application layer. He sees a window of opportunity because few viable projects exist in this space, and he is leveraging initial demand from institutions to bootstrap the network.
